100 Cars Britain Can Be Proud Of
This book celebrates everything that's great about British cars, from the boneshaking Lanchester of the 1890s to the mouthwatering Aston Martin V8 Vantage of today. Britain's engineers, designers, and entrepreneurs have for decades been the creators of cars with unique style and charm, as well as ground-breaking technology. Inside, you'll encounter an eclectic cross-section—from the "Blower" Bentley and Morris Minor Traveler to the original Mini, the Range Rover, and the Lotus Esprit. They've tended to produce some splendid underdogs too, which is why you'll find the Reliant Robin and Austin Maxi between these covers—not to mention truly unique vehicles like the Land Rover, the London taxi and, of course, the evergreen Morgan. Meanwhile, although many great marques are now little more than golden memories, Britain's car industry is holding its own, building some of the finest Hondas, Nissans, and Toyotas you can get!
